Do I need to activate roaming before going abroad or does buying roaming add-ons do this?

Going to Spain and have bought some EU text and calls add-ons. Before I go, doI need to switch on roaming or anything in order for my account to work abroad? Or does the fact that I've bought the add-ons suffice?

 

Thanks!

You should not have to do anything more - it should just connect to a network when you are abroad and just work. Don't forget that when calling Ireland numbers must be prefixed with 00 353 and the mobile/landline area prefix minus the leading zero.

 

Hope this helps.

you dont have to do anything pal apart from using the int codes. enjoy the trip!!!

When your EU roaming calls add-on minutes get used up you will be charged the normal rates for outgoing calls 29c/min (incoming calls while roaming will remain free for a month).

So you might want to keep tabs on the number of outgoing call minutes you use and buy another EU roaming calls add-on if/when needed. Ditto for the EU roaming texts add-on. You can use the short codes here to keep tabs on EU roaming add-on (and others) account balances:
